[Scan-DC] "Shuttle Bus" wreck on 95

[Doug Kitchener]

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this as a problem!  I get AP headlines on my earthlink page and they do this nonsense constantly.  If I read a story about a shooting in LA, I'd like to know the address or neighborhood, maybe I want to know if it's near OJ's place.

A flood in Colorado?  My best friend lives there...

grrrrr...
